This volm:ne for reasons which it is not easy to determine seems more delightful than the other two. Pe.rhaps it is that Genji grown to mature years and mellowed by his experiences, more readily wins our sympathy, perhaps that he and his friends have by familiarity .become our friends, too, or perhaps simply that we are more able to keep them and thei.r intricate names and relationsh ips straight in our limited Western minds. He builds a ·palace, spacious- and charming, with delightful garde9s, in \\'hich his various concubines are housed in splendou.: and with strict eye to ·equality. Genji has seen too well what jealousy can do. Here they live for the most part in peace and equanimity. It is really a .remarkable thing, this noYel written before the year 1020. It is modern in · its outlook, exceedingly penetrating in its psychology; except for some quaintness. of speech and a tendency to poetry which has never been a characteristic of Anglo Saxon races the characters might be living in any place at . any time.
